NICK'S NEWS

Way back in early grade school days, there were work books that accompanied the Dick, Jane and Sally readers. They were called “Think and Do” workbooks.

The New Moon that occurs on Friday evening, marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle. In the sign of Aquarius, it’s time to “think and do.” Friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus on a personal level. New beginnings regarding all of these matters are possible now. When the Moon aligns with the Sun it is an opportunity to create new thinking and breaking from our comfort zones.

Uranus rules Aquarius, this is a time we should solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box” and color outside the lines. At the very least, be open to different perspectives. Look to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision; brainstorm and dream big. After all, Aquarius rules the 11th house which is not only our social structure but also “hopes, dreams and wishes.”

Focus on extending a friendly hand, receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us; give our emotions and passions a “break”, as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from our fears. Learn how something (or someone) works, Aquarius loves to take things apart and put them back together.

This is a good moment to revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different; reach out to people, and recognize the value of our friendships and social networks. Recognize that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back.

With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. Because Uranus/Aquarius energy can bring sudden change, use this New Moon wisely, Uranus is the planet of revolution as well as evolution.

If you did not set New Year’s intentions, today is good time to Think and Do! ​
